2. No room for a tree? How about a ladder instead! You can hang your holiday decorations on the rungs and you can even put a star on top. Best part is that come January, there won’t be any pine needles to pick up!

4. Go natural with a DIY table runner. Start with greens and add colour and texture with tasty edibles like nuts, candy or fruit, like these vibrant pomegranates. Also unique because pieces of it will certainly disappear!

5. Think of it as a puzzle, a craft, a woodworking project or a festive decoration. This one ticks all the boxes. Make one for your family, and if the kids want in, make a whole team of these reindeer!

7. Here’s a new way to fold holiday napkins. Warning: prepare ahead – it takes a bit of time but it’s so worth it. The only downside? No one’s going to want to shake out these holiday trees to put the napkins on their laps.

9. There’s a little Santa’s elf in all of us, right? Enjoy this simple woodworking project that also allows you to express your artistic side – perfect to do on an afternoon alone or as a craft with the kids.

11. One lint roller, some kraft paper, a little twine and some creativity. That’s what you call instant holiday – all wrapped up! Carve up the roller into a favourite design, roll it on an ink pad and then on paper.
